"Scammer. Claimed they were from Three."
"Said he was from 3 and phoning me as my SIM would be blocked today because of bad reception complaints. But I'm with O2. Then he told me that 3, O2, and EE are working together - I don't think so. Then he wanted to check my email address - I told him it was a scam and that I would report him and I ended the call. Do not trust this number it is a SCAM and block it if it rings you."
